Auction Party at Southern Yacht Club Friday, March 19th @ 6:30pm
This is open to the public!

Time is running out! Making preparations to cross the lake this weekend. As it stands, of the five kiteboarders in addition to myself crossing the lake. Two kiteboardering participants have had to drop out to conflicts and injuries. I do have to give a hand to Mark, a kiteboarding participant from Miami who raised over $1,000 for the LLS.

This weekend, the weather has the potential to provide the right conditions:

High pressure will build in behind this front on Thursday and remain over the region through Friday. This high will shift toward the eastern Seaboard Saturday…as a low pressure system forms in the plains. As the low tracks to the east…a cold front will sweep through the coastal waters Saturday night.
Saturday
South winds 10 to 15 knots. Lake waters choppy. Slight chance of showers.
Saturday Night
Southwest winds 10 to 15 knots becoming northwest 15 to 20 knots after Midnight. Lake waters choppy to rough. Chance of showers and thunderstorms.

My fundraising effort, aka The Kiteboarder Crossing has blown up into it’s very own organized event. As part of the 2010 New Orleans Leukemia Cup Regatta, I’m again a non-sailing fundraising participant and organizing mayhem. This year will be a kiteboarder race across Lake Pontchartrain, this lake spans approximately 24 miles. Various kiteboarders from the Nola/MS and a couple guys from Miami area have expressed an interest in fundraising a couple bucks and racing across the lake for a great cause!
